I spent the weekend at Urubici in the mountains, a tiny place which contains this marvellous expressionist style Catholic church, which looms above about the small houses around it.
I don't know when it was built: I suspect about 1930: the web tells me just that Padre José Alberto Gonçalves Espíndola was responsible. It is not in a very good state of repair: note the colonies of wasps' nests.
Judging by the empty lots along the main street it seems to me that Urubici was planned with a much larger population in mind than it has: this thesis is supported by the unnecessary, wonderful vastness of this building.
